“CEO Ji, aren’t you going to go play mahjong with them?”

By the side, someone asked.

Ji Nuan shook her head with a smile and chatted briefly with a well-dressed old CEO by her side.

The old CEO noticed that she held a room card in her hands and asked about it.

She casually placed it on the table: “It’s nothing much. One of my friends asked me to hold onto it temporarily.”

Shen Mu had already left for twenty minutes, yet Ji Nuan had no plans to stand up.

At the twenty-minute mark, Shen Mu called her. Ji Nuan glanced at the displayed number and picked up her bag and the room card to step out.

She stood outside the door to answer his call. It was extremely noisy on Shen Mu’s side, and he was truly playing mahjong. She could hear voices nagging at him to make a move quickly.

“CEO Ji, have you headed over?” Shen Mu took the time amid the chaos to ask her.

“No, the room card is with me. I’ll hand it to someone from housekeeping before I leave. You can take it from them later.”

It was quiet on the other end for a moment before she heard the people noisily demanding: “Aiya, Little Shen, why did you suddenly stand up. Are you not playing anymore? Let’s continue. We haven’t even finished. You’ve been winning for so long, so you can’t just leave like this. Quick, let’s continue…”

“Then I won’t trouble you, CEO Ji. I’ll head to the pharmacy personally now.” Shen Mu did not say more, and it sounded like he was preparing to head out of the room.

However, the elites around him kept holding him back. It was indeed awkward for someone who had just won several rounds to take his leave. This led many of them to feel dissatisfied with him.

Ji Nuan could hear the movements on the other side and sensed that Shen Mu had really stood up and opened the door. She turned to look at next door’s entrance and was silent for a moment before speaking: “Forget it. Continue with your game. You can’t afford to offend those elites sitting at the mahjong table.”

She did not wait for Shen Mu’s reply and hung up.

After leaving the hotel, Ji Nuan searched for a long while before she finally found a pharmacy. She thought to buy some medication that could soothe one’s mind but was informed that those sorts of medication could negatively impact health. The employee recommended for her to buy various Chinese medicine broths and soothing incense instead.

These days, consumers were obsessed with trends. It was common to use essential oils as fragrance in rooms. Since the hotel was a six-star hotel, and often housed old CEOs who are used to luxury, Ji Nuan felt that they would surely have little modern incense burners available.

As for the medicine broths, those needed to be heated up before consumption. It was already late in the evening, and the private rooms were meant for them to rest temporarily; they did not come with a private kitchen area. The medicine broths were ill-suited for this occasion.

Ji Nuan contemplated for a while. It was difficult to understand exactly how serious Mo Jingshen’s insomnia had been in the past few years from the simple way Shen Mu had described it. As medication really should not be taken carelessly, she finally decided to purchase a packet of soothing incense.

After worrying that there wouldn’t be a burner available in the room, she headed to the housekeeping service and received a small, silver one. As expected, people these days were far too used to luxury. The hotel actually had many prepared, and the small burner they provided was delicately crafted.

Ji Nuan stood outside Mo Jingshen’s door and knocked. She couldn’t hear any movements inside and guessed that Mo Jingshen had already fallen asleep. She used the room card and entered.

When she pushed open the door, she realized that Mo Jingshen was not asleep as she had expected.

The man sat on one end of the sofa and was rubbing his forehead. It appeared as though he was really suffering through a headache and was unable to sleep because of it. He lifted his eyes mildly as the door unlocked. The first few buttons on his white shirt were unfastened, and his delicate five features were indifferent and distinct. He lifted his eyes and gave her a cold, apathetic glance.

It was evident that he did not expect to see Ji Nuan. Earlier, when he heard her knock, he had assumed she was Shen Mu. He knew Shen Mu had a room card and had been far too lazy to bother. Yet, in an instant he lifted his eyes, he saw that it was Ji Nuan stepping in with a small bag in her hand.

When their gazes met, Ji Nuan calmly shifted her eyes away. She indifferently brought in the incense burner and the things she had bought at the pharmacy.

“Shen Mu requested for me to buy you something that would soothe your mind and aid with your sleep. I didn’t buy any medication. I brought some incense. Give it a try and see if you’ll be able to sleep well tonight.”

Ji Nuan did not look at him. As she spoke, she smoothly placed the things on the coffee table. She quickly dropped the incense into the small burner and found a few matches that came with the incense. After lighting the incense, she gently flicked the match to extinguish it and placed everything back down on the table.

After completing everything, she did not turn to look at Mo Jingshen’s expression. She took several steps back without lifting her eyes: “CEO Mo, rest well. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“Ji Nuan.”

The man called her name. His cool, low, and heavy voice could be heard extra clearly in the quiet room.

Ji Nuan did not turn back and walked towards the door.

Before she could open it, the man had already approached. His long arm reached out and stopped her from opening the door. The small gap she had opened was immediately closed heavily.

She faltered in her movement and turned back to look toward the man.

It seemed like he had really excused himself to rest because he was feeling unwell. The man’s black, long hair slanted forward as he shifted his gaze down onto her. It cast a gentle shadow on his brows and eyes. The bright lights in the room scattered some warmth onto his expression, and his distant black eyes seemed to lose his typical cold, sternness. His gaze held a gentle light as he watched her.

Even though he did not press close unreasonably, but his arm kept Ji Nuan trapped between him and the door. Ji Nuan pressed close to the door and turned her head back to meet the man’s eyes: “CEO Mo, you haven’t touched any alcohol today, right? I don’t think I need to remind you what propriety is.”

“What is propriety?” The man appeared to be smiling. He lowered his eyes to meet hers; her gaze did not contain any warmth. “Ever since you returned to the country, you don’t even greet me when we meet. Is this the so-called propriety you speak of?”

Ji Nuan lifted her brows. She was unruffled: “Although MN Group’s performance isn’t bad, we first gained our firm foothold in England. We’ve only just returned to Hai City, and before the eyes of various old elites, we are but newborn calves. They can crush me like an ant anytime they please. If I don’t work by propriety and take note of my own limits, I would have already died the moment I stepped back in the country. The propriety I show to you, CEO Mo, is the exact same as what I offer to everyone else.”

Mo Jingshen pinched her chin and gently lifted it. He asked, “Didn’t you decide to never return from England? Why are you back again? En?”

The emotions in Ji Nuan’s eyes were cold and indifferent: “Xia Tian is pregnant and about to give birth. Someone needed to return to take over her position.”
